the double entendre is real

On another note, I'm completely fascinated by olympic lifters (never really been a fan of oly lifts before now)



77kg guy and he can C&J 210kg.. nearly 3 x BW, and looks ripped as fuck. What a machine

Indeed. Never liked/cared about olympic lifters before. Nearly put them in the same class as I do crossfitters today. But now I fricken love the sport. Huge respect to these chinese lifters @ 60-90kg lifting close to 3 * their bodyweight from the ground to above their head.

oh I hear ya.

Anyone who can squat or DL triple their body weight is pretty impressive, but to be able to put it over your head?

fuck off lol

Theres a few videos on hookgrip of some chinese lifters doing over 4x and 4.5x bodyweight

4x bw CnJ has never been done

anything can be done on crossfit

No there isn't ?!?


As far as I know the record Clean & Jerk (per pound) is held by a North Korean who lifted 171kg @ 57kg bodyweight.. Exactly 3.0 * bw


Unless you were talking about 4x/4.5x bw on exercises like squat or DL.. which has been done before.

There is 6 people that has ever achieved 3x bw Clean & Jerk.

3 of them bulgarians: Topurov, Genchev and some other guy.
2 turks: Suleymanoglu & Mutlu. Suleymanoglu got the best sinclair ever (Urik was around that level aswell)
1 north korea: Om Chol.

Genchev was like 67kg and did 202 or something which is the highest of them. Naim did 190 @ 60.
